Questions: Determine the number of pounds in 439.8 tons Round to the 100th place.

Solution Steps

To convert tons to pounds, we need to know the conversion factor: 1 ton is equal to 2000 pounds. Multiply the given number of tons by this conversion factor to get the number of pounds. Finally, round the result to the 100th place.

To convert tons to pounds, we use the conversion factor \( 1 \text{ ton} = 2000 \text{ pounds} \). Therefore, for \( 439.8 \text{ tons} \):

\[ \text{pounds} = 439.8 \times 2000 \]

Calculating the total gives:

\[ \text{pounds} = 879600 \]

Since the result is already a whole number, rounding \( 879600 \) to the 100th place remains:

\[ \text{rounded\_pounds} = 879600.00 \]
